THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S MARKED BRIDE What He Was Trying to Crush Down
Lyra's Pov He thinks if he says nothing, I will not notice. He does not understand yet what nothing means to me now.I stood in the doorway, Theron across the room, both of us exhausted in a way that went all the way down to the bone, by something neither of us had words for yet. The air between us felt thick. I could feel it all through the new connection. The relief still raw from the ceremony ground, the want, the guilt he was trying to push down like it was something shameful."You do not have to crush it down anymore," I said quietly. "I am not asking you to."Theron's jaw tight. "It is not appropriate. You almost died tonight. I almost lost you, and the first thing my body wants is—"He stopped himself there, the rest of the sentence dying somewhere in his throat. He did not need to finish it. I had already felt exactly what he had been about to say, sharp and immediate, layered with everything he had been holding back for weeks now. "I felt it before you
THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S MARKED BRIDE The First Thing I Feel
Lyra's Pov I open my eyes on the ceremony ground and the first thing I feel is not my own fear. It is his. The Blood Moon was already fading toward dawn, the red light bleeding back into ordinary gray. I was lying in the grass, the pack and our allies still gathered around the edges of the circle, nobody moving, nobody speaking. My own body felt intact when I checked it, no visible mark, no obvious change. But something in my chest sat wrong and crowded. Like there was more of me in there than there used to be. I reached for Theron without thinking about it, my hand finding his arm where he lay beside me. The second my fingers touched his skin, something flooded into me that was not mine. Not words. Not a vision. Just feeling, raw and completely unfiltered. Terror, sharp enough to make my breath catch. Relief so deep it nearly buckled something inside my chest. Love so overwhelming it sat closer to grief than anything I had a name for. I recoiled from the intensity, gasping,
THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S MARKED BRIDE The Blood Moon Eve
Lyra's PovThe night before the Blood Moon, and every thread of the last forty chapters pulls tight at once.We decided on Garrett before sunrise. No public exposure, no humiliation in front of the troops he had pledged to bring. Just Theron, meeting with him privately the moment he arrived, and me standing close enough that the bond carried everything back to me in real time.I watched through the connection more than I watched with my own eyes. Theron laid the evidence on the table between them and waited. Garrett looked at it for a long moment, and he did not deny a single word of it."They have my daughter," he said. His voice came out flat, stripped of everything that used to make him sound confident in a council chamber. "Have had her for six months."The room went very still."Every report I sent them was the price of keeping her alive," he said. "I included errors in every single one. Small enough that nobody would notice. Large enough to matter when it counted."Theron's voic
THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S MARKED BRIDE Ten Days
Lyra's PovTen days is not enough time. We use every hour of it anyway.I shared the vision with Theron immediately at dawn. He sat up fast, no grogginess, like some part of him had already been waiting for bad news. I watched his face change while I talked, the calm dropping away piece by piece until what was left was pure focus. "They are not waiting for the Blood Moon," he said slowly . "They are moving before it. That means they do not want to interfere during the ceremony. They want to stop it from happening at all.""Three targets," I said. "Us. The ceremony location. Or the other bloodlines you and Calla have been trying to protect.""We cannot defend all three the same way." His jaw tightened. "We do not have the numbers for that, not in ten days." By midmorning the war room was full again, maps spread everywhere. Theron made the calls fast, no hesitation once he decided"First priority is you and me," he said, looking around the table at the gathered Al
THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S MARKED BRIDE The Claiming
Lyra's Pov Two weeks before the Blood Moon, Theron asked me something I was not prepared for.The morning after I made my private decision about the vision, I went to the garden before anyone else was up. The herb beds I planted when I first arrived as Luna, back when everything about this place still felt foreign and cold, were flourishing in a way that surprised me. I sat on the stone bench, running my fingers through the leaves, trying to calm the thoughts racing in my head. The vision of Theron standing alone in the ceremony circle kept replaying. I had not told him yet. I was still deciding if I should.Footsteps approached. Theron. He sat beside me without preamble, his shoulder brushing mine. For a moment we just sat in silence, the bond humming quietly between us."I want to claim you properly," he said suddenly.I turned to look at him. "We are marked. We are bonded.""We are marked," he agreed. "We had a contract ceremony, signed under pressure, witnessed by
THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S MARKED BRIDE The Old Families
Lyra's Pov The old families have been waiting above the conspiracy we dismantled, and now they are done waiting. The Continental Council chamber was packed and tense the moment we walked in. Alphas and Lunas from every major territory filled the rows of seats, more faces than I had ever seen gathered in one room at once. No one had answers yet, and you could feel that uncertainty sitting heavy over the whole chamber. Reports kept coming in even as the session opened, aides moving up to whisper updates to their Alphas mid-meeting. Not just three territories attacked anymore. Seven now. All overnight. All targeting specific bloodlines with a precision that felt deliberate rather than random. The room buzzed with a mixture of fear and confusion. Council members kept turning to look at each other, searching for someone, anyone, who might have an explanation that made sense of what was happening. My Oracle gift read the room like an open book. The fear in that chamber was ge

THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S MARKED BRIDE The Leak
Lyra's Pov The only way to find a spy is to tell everyone a different lie and see which one travels.The morning after the discovery, Theron and I worked through the problem systematically in his office. Six people had been in that room when we made the plan. Theron, me, Damon, Sera and two Co
